Diego Pavia contract details: Why Ravens signed Vanderbilt QB to surprising three-year deal originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.

After becoming the first Heisman finalist to go undrafted since 2014 (Jordan Pryor), Diego Pavia was signed by the Baltimore Ravens on Tuesday.

The Vanderbilt quarterback likely dropped through the draft due to his height and character concerns, with not participating in many events also likely a factor, and was forced to be labeled an undrafted free agent.

Now, he just inked a three-year deal to join Lamar Jackson and the Ravens.

Here is the latest on Pavia's deal and what it means for Baltimore.

On Tuesday afternoon, Pavia and the Ravens agreed on a three-year deal, per Adam Schefter. The former Commodores QB accepted an invitation to participate in Baltimore's mini-camp this weekend, but the team opted to sign him beforehand.
